Erics: Fisher and Levin - Improv & VR

And because of the consumerist nature of our lifestyles now where we just consume everything, not just food, but like people's thoughts. Oh, read this book, go to this movie, like learn this way, use this app. It's all just giving it to you. And where's the call for just the individual to say, hey, I don't need any of this. I need nothing. I can just sit under a tree with compassionate self inquiry which you can be trained in. And I can figure it out myself.

Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. Today was a really special interview that I did with some of my best friends, Eric Levin and Eric Fisher. Both have named Eric and Eric Levin was the original muse for the Crazy Wisdom podcast. We would talk every day on our way to Ecstatic dance in Oakland on Wednesdays to go dance. And we'd have conversations about spirituality and about Crazy Wisdom. And I was like, well I should start doing interviews based on the conversations having on the same theme that we were having. Because Eric is a VR developer, AR developer, has been doing that for a long time and has access to Crazy Wisdom and he is really, really interesting. And then my friend Eric Fisher is a previous podcast guest. I've already had him on the podcast and he was an early employee at Facebook, got kind of fed up with the whole thing, the whole tech, whatever it is, whatever that tech thing is, and was during that ascent of Facebook and he started doing a lot of improv and created something called Mindful Improv, which I have now become a huge fan of and like to practice. So this was not only one of the best episodes I've ever done, but thoroughly entertaining and fulfilling and something that I am very, very honored to share with you all. And I just wanted to put it out there again that I have my online course with Anders Jones. Applications are open and if you want to find out more information, you can subscribe to my blog@stuartalsop.substack.com and it's going to be a great course with Anders Anders Jones, who rose $40 million in a series A. So if you're a startup founder at either the Siege stage, the Series A stage, or even just considering starting a company, I'm going to pull out the most important information from his head. How he's raised money and then also how he's done hyper growth because he's about to hit that. He is hitting that hyper growth curve so he can basically start to share some of the lessons he has from that. If you're interested, please subscribe to the blog stuartalsop.substack.com and hope you enj this interview and have a great day. Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom podcast. Today we have a very, very special episode and a very special guest, Eric Levin. And Eric is the one that I originally ideated the podcast Crazy Wisdom with. So it's really. And that was almost two years ago now. Probably full two years ago, we were going to ecstatic dance every. Every Wednesday in Oakland. And we would be in the car and we would have deep philosophical discussions about the nature of reality and where everything is going. Technology, spirituality, religion, all these different things that a lot of people kept separate we were mixing into our conversations. And so I came with. We came up with the idea for Crazy Wisdom, and it's a huge pleasure to have you on. And I don't know, I can introduce you, you can introduce yourself. What do you feel more comfortable with?
